"Why don't you tell us how President Gore or President Kerry could have prevented this from happening?"

Recognizing that Russia has been rolling in money the past few years, upgrading their military and complaining about how the US is operating in that region would be a start. Looking into to Putin's eyes and talking about his soul probably wouldn't have been a priority.

Russia has been issuing warnings for years. We have been ignoring them for years. Suddenly, we are shocked, shocked I tell you, when Russia finally stops talking and starts acting.

You know, they have been building up their troops on the border with Georgia since the first of the year. A president with some degree of awareness would have had their top analysts for that region studying it since then.
